Using nanomaterials at work
This new guidance, produced by HSE, is aimed at SMEs. It is specifically about the manufacture and manipulation of all nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and high aspect ration nanomaterials (HARNS). It has been prepared in response to emerging evidence about the toxicity of these materials.
The use of Nanomaterials in UK Universities: an overview of occupational health and safety
HSE wishes to increase its knowledge and understanding of the occupational use and manufacture of engineered nanoparticles in the UK. As part of this work, HSE has worked with The UK NanoSafety Group to gain an overview of the work with nanomaterials in a small number of UK universities.
Regulatory review
This is a review of the adequacy of current regulatory regimes to secure effective regulation of nanoparticles created by nanotechnology (published March 2006).
